Cinema exhibition is going digital as certainly as is television. Readers who want to get caught up on the latest in digital cinema can do so by attending the fourth annual Digital Cinema Summit, jointly presented by NAB , SMPTE , and the Entertainment Technology Center at USC. The Summit will happen on the Saturday before the NAB convention opens.

The morning will feature tutorials dealing with the technical aspects of digital cinema, including the new 4K projection systems. The afternoon will include reports on the digital cinema standards process, presentations from people involved in digital cinema in Europe and Asia, and a panel discussion on the political and regulatory landscape. Sign up for the Digital Cinema Summit by visiting NAB Show Web site .

Digital projection has a number of advantages over film projection for both exhibitors and viewers. It features a rock-steady picture, free of the bob and weave of a film projector. Further, the digital copy of the feature does not deteriorate with time as does a film print. For the producer and exhibitor, the bulky and expensive film print may be eliminated in favor of delivery on a handful of DVDs or even via satellite.

Digital cinema, and the technical, creative and business issues it raises, will get the limelight at NAB2007 with the sixth Digital Cinema Summit, produced by SMPTE and the Entertainment Technology Center at University of Southern California, Saturday, April 14, and Sunday, April 15, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) and the Entertainment Technology Center at the University of Southern California again will team up to present the fourth annual Digital Cinema Summit next month at NAB2005 in Las Vegas. Predicted to be among highlights will be new product announcements
